XXV. Listen to the teenagers once more and prepare good reading:

Maria:I dress the way I do because it’s comfortable. Most of the time I think about whether the clothes I wear match and I usually wear make up that matches my clothes. I know that wearing jeans with a top is casual but I like this look. Fashion is about wearing the clothes you choose so you can be different from everyone else.

Peter:I think fashion helps us to tell others who we are. I don’t think too much about the latest fashion trends. I like the way I dress because it’s my way of expressing myself. I wouldn’t wear these clothes if I didn’t like them. I usually pay attention to whether my clothes match or not because it makes me look better. I believe that clothes show people who you really are. Some people don’t like the way I look but I feel comfortable in what I wear even if it looks a bit out-of-date.

Julia:I dress the way I do because I like to be an individual. I don’t think you should judge people by their clothes, though. It’s only part of who they are. Sometimes I think about whether my clothes match, but it usually depends on if I am going out somewhere special. Then I make an effort, but otherwise I just put on whatever I feel like. I think fashion can be a statement of somebody’s individuality. I don’t care what people think about the way I dress … Uhm, but I wouldn’t wear short skirts because I don’t like my legs!

XXVI. What does fashion mean to you? Use the following words:

to look, to feel, to be, to make somebody look \ feel — stylish, cool, smart, trendy, up-to-date, fashionable, comfortable, popular, independent, confident, nice.

Model:I like to look smart because I feel more confident. My trendy clothes make me look up-to-date and feel independent.

XXVII. Read what teenagers (Sam, Bill, and Mary) think of fashion nowadays and answer the questions below the interviews:

Sam, 16

Shops today seem to have nothing better to offer than almost exact copies of our parents’ clothes.I refuse to follow this trend! I like to be creative and original and most of all, enjoy what I’m wearing. Sorry, if I’m offending (обижаю) someone who likes, for example, bell bottom jeans which our parents wore or things like that.

Bill, 16

I agree that we’re dressing in clothes that look similar to what our parents wore in the 70’s, but really they are not the same. Sam talks about originality. Is it original to wear something you saw your celebrity wore? If you want trully original stuff (вещи), then buy things and change them yourself. Just keep at it. Someday you’ll look at yourself in the mirrow and you’ll see a completely different person wearing the clothes you like.

Mary, 16

I totally disagree with you! Styles are not just copying the 70’s right now! In fact, there isn’t just one style — there are many styles — from the 50’s, 60’s and 80’s and now. It’s hard to define just one style for 2000 and up!

1. Whose opinion do you agree with?

2. Do you think people should express their individuality only by clothes?

3. What do you do to look different from others?
